Fodor's "Just around the corner from its sister hotel, the Herodion, the Philippos shares its good qualities: a quiet location convenient to the Acropolis and friendly, efficient service." Full review
Lonely Planet "Philippos offers small, well-appointed rooms near the Acropolis." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The Philippos, sister hotel of the Herodion around the corner, is probably better for families as there are many quad rooms."

As with the Herodion, book online for best prices.
Rough Guide "Three-star sister hotel to the Herodion... the Philippos was completely renovated for the 2004 Olympics, though the interior is much less dramatic than the new facade."
Star Service "In a sedate residential neighborhood two blocks from its sibling...this family-run hotel is, like its relative, an inviting small operation in a surprisingly quiet and convenient location." Full review

The word is out on this one, so book early and request discounts.
